This is Evelyn’s Paper Bag quilt and was a guild project from two years ago were we exchanged 3” squares of fabric and collected them in a paper bag. This is the first time I have used a panto on this pattern and I was really pleased with how it looks. Evelyn asked for masculine quilting and since I usually quilt feathers and wreaths when I custom quilt this pattern I thought I would try a panto.
The panto is called Mimosa, the batting is Dream Blend and I used White So Fine thread on top and Navy Bottom Line in the bobbin. The backing was a Navy Batik and I could have used white thread on top and backing but if I can get the tension on my machine just right I will try my best to match the thread with the backing fabric.
Golly hard to see where the snow swirls stop and quilt starts. Very lovely.
ReplyDeleteCan you share a little more about the brown paper bag swap? I'm always looking for new ideas for our club.
